later.bye.wanna swimyeah.pffthh coughyou okjust got some in my mouth.any idea wh
ere the river is nowstill pretty far out. it actually retreated a little this we
ek.i dont understand what the sea is doing.i dont think we can build it much tal
ler than this. its been fun, thoughsippfffthpthuh yuckive had worse.guess one of
 us should climb down.yeah.the sea is rising.yeah.sea level rises and falls, rig
ht its changed before.not this fast.the river hasnt even reached the sea yet.the
 river is small. the sea is big.how bigi dont know.does it rain on the seai dont
 know.if it does, it seems like a waste.it rains in the hills where the river co
mes from, rightsure.are there other riversi dont know.there must be other rivers
. otherwise the sea would dry up.maybe its coming out of the ground.does that ha
ppeni dont know.i dont know how the sea worksi dont know how anything works.i do
nt think its going to stop.the sea just cant make more of itself forever.it can 
do whatever it wants. its the sea.there must be a reason. theres a reason for ev
erything.yeah.but its not always a good reason.there must be other rivers. maybe
 something is wrong with them.i like our castle.i think its going to go away.yea
h.do you think there are other riverssomething is adding water to the sea.does i
t have to be water maybe something is adding more land somewhere. and its making
 the sea overflow.or maybe its just raining somewhere. we have no idea whats out
 there.yeah.want to find outyes.ill get some bags.bye.have you ever been this fa
rnot this way.maybe the sea doesnt end.we havent walked very far.yeah. but thats
 what the first part of not ending looks like.if we dont find something today, w
ell have to start using the steam bottle.ugh.yes.yes whatthere are other rivers.
the river isnt moving that fast. maybe i could too dangerous.yeah.its ok. it was
 an accident.youre right, though.about whatthe rivers not moving very fast.it ca
nt be flowing much faster than we walk. even if its as deep as it is wide, i don
t think its enough water.yeah.and this river doesnt look broken.yeah.its pretty 
neat, though.yeah.sorry.no, right. forgot.its still rising.its strange. rivers f
low to meet the sea. maybe the sea couldnt wait.walk upriver to find a ford, or 
turn backwe cant go back. we dont understand everything yet.everything is a litt
le ambitious. we barely understand anything.yeah.but thats what the first part o
f understanding everything looks like.if nothing else, im glad we found this riv
er. its not much farther from home than ours is at its driest.oh. the river is e
ven bigger than it looked.maybe it is big enough to fill the sea.our rope isnt s
trong enough.whathold this or youll fall.when our river gets too big, it fills w
ith stuff. wood and leaves and things from people in the hills.this river doesnt
 look like that.maybe it only flows through empty places.if this river isnt what
s making the sea rise, we need to get past it. either way, we continue upriver.i
 wonder how high the water is now.
